During last weekend's fishing derby at Hyatt angling was slower than last year, but some bigger trout were caught along with a lot of catchable sized fish. One angler caught an 18 inch rainbow on Powerbait near a boat ramp recently. Unfortunately some trollers reported problems with aquatic vegetation at Hyatt already. The weeds can be very thick and basically stop any attempt at trolling. This is disappointing. H

Fishing for largemouth bass has been surprisingly good, and the bass are in good condition. One angler had success using a Hack Attack jig for largemouth. Some black crappie and brown bullhead have also reportedly been caught.

Remember to remove all vegetation from gear, boots and boats before leaving Hyatt.
